Those who ride motorcycles are particularly vulnerable in serious car accidents. The overwhelming number of severe head injuries suffered by those who ride motorcycles led many States laws of helmet obligatory pass.Many of these laws of helmet have on the books for decades. However, it is growing movement in many States, motorcycle lift helmet laws now. Montlick and Associates, attorneys at law, we the victims have serious Georgia motorcycle accidents represents more than 27 years, was. We have seen the devastating effects of the motorcycle accidents in Atlanta and very Georgia and the number of lives that have been saved by motorcycle helmets. This disastrous motorcycle accidents not only cause a tragedy for the victim, but also lose their families, that often a mistress and financial provider.

The State of Michigan currently leads legislation in its legislature, the Michigan's almost 40 lifting would act years old motorcycle helmet. It is strange that 81% of the population of the State that supports mandatory law as polling and only 16% said that helmets should not be required to protect drivers in serious motorcycle accidents. The Office of highway safety planning estimates already on the abolition of law in Michigan to 30 more deaths per year in 127 more fight injuries per year would result. This would probably at the end of the calculation of the State population of staggering $129 million in additional costs for medical care.

In other States, where they mandatory lifted helmet laws, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported a significant increase in the number of casualties. Deaths grew by 100% in Louisiana, 81% in Florida and 50% in Kentucky.

The cost of this freedom motorcycle comes to a disproportionate cost to other insured motorists in the State. The State has in fact a fund called the Michigan catastrophic claims Association (MCCA), the of is subject to a surcharge assessed on each insurance policy in the State financed. While around 2 per cent to this program of motorcycle riders are paid, representing 7.3 per cent of total damage. Motorcyclists make 5 percent of the money which is paid by the Fund.

The other imbalance associated with the repeal of motorcycle helmet laws is in the field of insurance. Motorcyclist would allow a proposed Bill in Michigan, which are more than 21, without to go helmet if they have $20,000 in health insurance. The Michigan AAA traffic safety Manager argues that $20,000 even would come close to cover the cost of medical care, which result in these kinds of accidents.

The value of motorcycle helmets save in life should not be underestimated. Represent while only 3 percent of the registered cars are motorcycles, motorcycle fatalities around 9 percent of all vehicles for passenger transport. This figure underestimates the risk of something, because there is usually only a single rider on a motorcycle, which can be killed in a crash, while a passenger-vehicle accident can expose many occupant fatality risks. The NHTSA estimates motorcycle helmets 37 percent effectively prevent deaths. Recently a decrease in the use of helmets from a usage rate of 71 percent there usage rate in the year 2000 to only 58 per cent in 2002.

Many lives are saved due to motorcycle helmet use. The most common cause of death in a motorcycle crash is head injury. If there are no laws of helmet in a State, there is significantly less motorcyclists using a helmet. In 2009 helmets 97 percent of the drivers, the street in States with laws helmet was compared to only 63 percent in States that had no mandatory helmet laws. Motorcyclist without helmet are three times more likely than helmeted riders suffering from traumatic brain injury in a crash.
